Near retirement - health insurance
Just wondering how you manage health insurance while traveling nationally if not subsidized by Medicare, Medicaid or a retirement system (such as government employee, teacher, military etc).

The problem with not having insurance is the bills are much higher. My wife had to have an appendectomy and was in the hospital for only one night. Bill was 18K and the insurance company 'negotiated rate' came out to 5.7K. Without insurance you are on the hook for the entire 18K bill. It's crazy but that is the way it works.
